Bristol-Myers Squibb is hosting its third annual “Light to Unite” campaign.
Light to Unite is an initiative in cooperation with the National AIDS Fund to increase HIV/AIDS awareness in the U.S. Every year on World AIDS Day, Light to Unite brings together sponsors to hold a virtual candle-lighting event online and forwards the donation to AIDS organizations in the U.S. to help fight HIV/AIDS.
For each virtual candle lit through December 31, 2006, Bristol-Myers Squibb will contribute $1 to the National AIDS Fund, up to a maximum contribution of $100,000, to benefit AIDS service organizations in underserved communities in the U.S.
Even after the $100,000 is met, Web site visitors have the opportunity to increase the impact of the Bristol-Myers Squibb contribution to the National AIDS Fund by making an additional donation on the National AIDS Fund Web site at aidsfund.org.
You can read more about Bristol-Myers Squibb at their site.

Thanks, Gary in KY, for reminding me of this opportunity.

You’re quite welcome Becky. –gary
Becky, I can’t find anything here, going on for World Aids day! I emailed the Nashville Cares people, then called, no response. There has to be something. Do you know of anything? I ask because you seem to be able to find all these great sites on it.
Shannon–A list of events provided in the TN region is here.
There is a link regarding Knoxville here.
You might also check with Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Nashville and Upper Room Ministries.
Finally, the front page of the Church Street Freedom Press has information, and it also contains information in this article.
Oh thank you! We will be going to the Centennial Park ceremony. I don’t know why this hasn’t been put in other papers.
Now, I can share some of this with my students. Thank you again!
CSFP and Insideoutnashville.com are your best source for these kinds of info. –Gary
